Fred’s Health Tips of the Day

What’s up fam…

Here are more tips to help us all…

Dress for success. Before you start any kind of exercise routine make sure that your body is well supported. This means comfortable shoes, a strong sports bra (or two), breathable fabrics, and even a cute little headband. The less you have to fuss with during your workout (i.e. tugging at your shorts, pushing hair out of your eyes) the more you can focus on achieving better results.

Hop to it. Boxers aren’t born lean and mean. It takes dedication and a little help from an 8-foot piece of rope. Jumping rope provides such a great full body workout that an average sized woman (5’4”, 140 lbs.) can burn more than 100 calories in just 10 minutes. So, next time that gym membership starts to pinch your pennies, pick up a rope and start hopping.

Be fear free. One of the main reasons people avoid the gym is they’re afraid of being judged by other people. The truth is, the majority of people at the gym are there to focus on their own bodies, not yours. The sooner you overcome that insecurity the sooner you can focus on your fitness performance.

Every minute counts. Don’t eliminate your exercise for the day just because you have a full schedule. If you’re crunched for time, then crunch your routine. Simply decrease the frequency or duration to accommodate your workout. You’ll feel better knowing you did something rather than nothing.
